In Korea, there's a truck called the "Bongo" which is more of platform for cabover small trucks -- which includes box trucks, pickup-style utility trucks, flatbeds, etc. But all designed to be small and work well in tight urban environments.
The stock Bongo sort of vaguely represents an American pickup truck if it was built by somebody who had only ever heard of one described. However, they're ubiquitous, and the boxtruck versions handle a lot of what we in the U.S. would use semi trucks for.
In Korea they tend to be made by Kia, and I think in Japan there's a near identical variant by Mazda.
They can be had pretty cheap, a friend of mine has one for some farmland he has outside of Seoul and he says he bought it for ~$5k.
